Chapter 470 - We're just getting warmed up!
Dave flashed forward, headed for the now recovering Raijin. Mega Dave's speed became incredible, Raijin didn't even have a moment to adjust as Dave's knee smashed into his face. The massive draugr made a frontal flip with the remaining power behind his dash, then dropped and leg swept the golden god.
Raijin fell back, but before he could even touch the ground, Dave's foot stomped on his side, sending him right back into the wall he had struck before.
Fujin, seeing his brother being hammered, decided to help. He moved at a fast pace, every step he took was light, a sharp contrast to Dave's quaking steps. He then made a flying roundhouse kick at Dave, but the latter was ready. His hand had already reached and grabbed at Raijin's foot then he swung the massive creature into the path of the wind God's kick.
Fujin smashed both Dave and his brother into the wall, incredible might came out form the power behind a martial artist god's kick.
-6,250,000
Dave suffered a lot of damage but it was not comparable to the broken ribs Raijin took from his own brother's kick.
-42,000,000
Dave pushed the lighting god off of him and swung a straight punch into the air, headed toward the wind god.
The punch blasted a black ethereal dragon forward that dove through Fujin then coiled around him for extra damage. And a rooting effect.
"EL THOR!" Raijin's mouth blasted words of power that caused the sealing to shudder and shake.
Dave saw sparks gathering right under him, and in a fraction of a second, he used [Immortal Apparition] disappearing from where he was as a bolt of lighting thicker than the empire tower dropped down on where he stood a moment ago.
That was Raijin's one-hit kill skill. An Execution skill that would have killed Dave or probably dropped him to his [Unyielding] passive of 1% HP.
Raijin had a ring with several drums on it. They were gushing smoke from the effects of El Thor.
Fujin took a fighting stance, one fist tucked under his ribs, the other extended forward, his legs were posed, one in the front and one back while he made a half squat stance.
Dave remembered this stance; it was the one Fujin used the last time he fought him and this was also Fujin's Execution skill.
Fujin raised his leg up then slammed down, the wind picked up, but Dave's current form was too heavy for the impact to lift him up, however, this didn't mean that Fujin was about to stop his attack. In fact, the wind god smile then dashed forward, sending punches and jabs at Dave's face.
Dave let go and gave control to [Awakened Dragon], one of his hands parried Fujin's Fist, then the other shot a fist forward at the wind god. The latte also parried then sent another Jab, this scenario continued on for long excruciating seconds as jabs and swings, fists and chops were exchanged and parried for both parties at the same time. Every contact they made created an explosive blast in the air. As arm struck arm, fist struck fist, explosions like bombs echoed in the room from the might of the two.
"MOOOOAAAR!" Dave roared!
The wind god, pleased that someone was able to match his power increased the speed of his tricks, then began adding kicks and knee sticks, only to have Dave match him in power and speed. Every leg strike was blocked, every knee dodged or countered with a downward palm. And even an occasional headbutt was stopped by another headbutt.
Fujin took a few steps back, helped Raijin up, and began laughing. His laughs broke the sound barrier and shook the whole room.
Raijin felt that his brother's mood was also contagious and also began to laugh. And while they were at it, Dave noticed the black mark on their chests visibly decreasing.
"IIIDARO!!" Fujin uttered. "Kyodai, Hyomen ni Ikoo."
"Daro, Ikuzo, Kyoda" Raijin replied.
Dave didn't understand what the two were saying, but the Tengu Immediately explained, and in a rather panicked voice.
"Lord! Buckle up, they'll take you to the surface!"
Dave panicked; this was bad! If what the Tengu had said was true, then that means that they will be pulling him out of the dungeon, he will lose his World Boss power up.
Lighting gathered around Dave, fully covering him, then, an instant later, he and the two gods disappeared from the Storm Labyrinth.
***
On the surface of the world of Conquest, right outside the territory of the Devastators and on the borders of the Heaven's Dawn southern desert, a lightning storm gathered.
There were thousands of pillars standing on this part of the desert, and if Dave had been here before, he will notice a great resemblance to these pillars and the ones in the underworld. The entrance to the Storm Labyrinth had a similar designed area.
Near the storm was an oasis where players traded and went to hunt for monsters in the desert region. The majority belonged to Heaven Dawn, but some players were rogue or guild-less ones, and some even from the Devastators and a rare few from the Northern Kingdom of the Blood Ragers were there.
The oasis served as a hub to players, it was the same for Moria that enabled players access to the Wilds, this one enabled access to the Desert Rivers. A danger zone, but not as dangerous as the wilds. The players nearest to the area of the lightning storm noticed what was going on and moved toward the area, perhaps an event was brewing and they wanted to be the first to be there.
The clouds darkened enough that the sun was blotted completely, wind and lightning surged and raged, clamoring in hell's bells, sounds of impending chaos and danger never before seen on the world of Conquest.
Suddenly, a gigantic bolt of Lightning Struck the pillars, flattening them, where three enormous creatures popped up in the area.
Raijin and Fujin materialized in the upper world, completely physical, and right in front of them, was a massive bone armored abomination that wore a crown of bones, and claws of fire. This creature was too familiar, but once the players read the name on top of this guy, they were all stupefied.
"What the F.u.c.k?!" a player shouted, "That's Skelly, how the f.u.c.k did he get that big?!"
"Shit, check that out man, those are the twin gods from one of Skelly's earliest adventures. What the hell is going on?" He said.
Another, with the bravery of a lion, spoke up, "This is good, it's three world bosses, you know how many resources we can get if we kill them?"
Almost immediately, everyone understood the value of such a sighting, and they all began calling their guild leaders. This was going to be a bountiful harvest…or so they thought.
***
Dave was surprised at what was going on. As he didn't lose the World Boss status when he appeared on the outer world. But taking a glance around he noticed a few things. There was an invisible barrier around the three. Perhaps this is what made him keep his status as he actually never left the dungeon, and this must be an extension of it to the outer world.
But the question remains, why did the two brothers take him outside?
The answer to that question came unnaturally fast. Lightning struck down onto Fujin's body, electrifying him yet at the same time, the ecstatic grin on his face gave Dave a dreadful feeling. The same happened to Fujin, the storm's winds gathered and funneled into the sac behind his back, lifting the whole giant a few feet above the ground, while wind curled and coiled around his body, visibly so, caressing his muscles and pumping them with power.
The two gods shot forward, their shoulders smashing into Dave's chest sending him rolling in the air and smashing into the barrier with enough power that sand around the barrier blasted out in a sand tidal wave.
-120,000,000!
Dave felt dizzy, the strike knocked the breath out of him even if he did not need breath.
The two gods smiled, and Fujin spoke, "Doshta?! Wattanoka?"
Dave coughed then stood up from his sprawled position, he didn't need to know the language to understand that they were mocking him. And thankfully a small translation text appeared above the two gods explaining what they were saying.
Dave was correct, the text reads, "What's wrong? Are you done already?"
His grin was a perfect match for the two gods.
He spoke in English, but the words came out in the same language as the gods, "EYA! MADADA!"
"[FINAL FANTASM]!"
